Argentina, locker room upset: “We are dead.”

Albiceleste players try to fight back after stunning defeat against Saudi Arabia

Locker room in silence and gloomy atmosphere in Argentina’s house after the very heavy knockout in the World Cup opener against Saudi Arabia. Lionel Messi to Olé does not hide his bitterness: “How is the locker room? We are dead. It’s a hard blow because we didn’t expect to start like this, we were confident. It’s time to be more united than ever.”

Thus Juventus’ Di Maria: “I think we deluded ourselves that we were going to win the first game after the goal, and it didn’t happen that way. We created many situations, we had many chances to score and we didn’t succeed.”

Papu Gomez: “We know that now it becomes difficult, but we have a lot of confidence. We have to think about us and win the next two games. They shot twice on goal and scored, but we were not concrete.”
